As the product's name suggests, Adventure Anal Spray is meant to be used during anal play to help relax the sphincter and make anal play easier and more enjoyable. While adventure itself acts as a sort of lubricant, it comes in such a small quantity that you'll probably want to supplement with some other kind of lube. For best results, you should wait 10 minutes after applying the Adventure spray before applying any other lubricants.

To my chagrin, I read in another review that Adventure contains Dimethicone, a type of silicone lubricant, only after I'd used it with my Tantus Slim. On the plus side, it doesn't seem to have done any damage to my beloved Slim. I wrote to Intimate Organics to ask about it, and they've assured me that it is perfectly safe to use with silicone toys as well as latex condoms. If you're looking for something to use in conjunction with silicone toys, it would be best to look elsewhere. So whether you're looking for something to help with traditional anal intercourse (is that an oxymoron?) or with toys, Adventure may be a good choice for you.

The texture of the Adventure spray is a bit thinner than I had expected, but still velvety to the touch. Adventure comes in a tiny 1 oz. spray bottle, which can be awkward to maneuver when using it alone, but is very effective at parsing out a good supply of the substance. Even used in small quantities, I was impressed at how well the spray stayed in place. However, even if its consistency allowed it to perform well as an anal lubricant, the small quantity and high price would make it a poor choice. When paired with my water-based lubes, Adventure still managed to stay in place and get the job done.

The smell of the Intimate Organics Anal spray is probably its most notable feature. To say the aroma is strong would be like saying that the sun is sort of warm. I knew from reading the product description that the product would have some odor, but I was unprepared for the sheer tenacity of the smell. This is not to say that the smell is unpleasant; far from it. In fact, the smell is reminiscent of cloves and oranges and comes off as some sort of mix between a warm winter Glogg and some sort of Indian desert. Naturally, this comes as quite an improvement to the body's natural odors, and if one is self-conscious about anal play for fear of such smells, the Adventure Spray's ability to mask such an odor might alleviate any such fears. However, the smell lingers, so be mindful of what surfaces or fabrics the spray might come into contact with.

Despite the pleasing smell and texture, I was a bit disappointed in the Adventure spray's ability to perform its primary purpose. As I've noted in other reviews, I have a great deal of difficulty accepting even smaller anal toys, and had high hopes that the Adventure spray would make it easier for me. After several applications and use with both toys and fingers, it simply didn't help me or my girlfriend relax enough to make anal play any easier. However, the spray did create a sort of warming sensation that I found pleasant enough, and it lasted for nearly half an hour. While I don't think that the Adventure spray does a great job of relaxing the sphincter, it did make anal play more pleasant and lasted longer than I had expected.

Cleanup was a bit of a pain. As I mentioned above, my silicone toys did not melt, degrade, or change texture when used with the Adventure spray, but my silicone plug did retain the smell of the Adventure spray through several washes. Eventually I was able to get the smell to dissipate, but I would strongly caution users about getting this product on anything they don't want to wash thoroughly.

Intimate Organics Anal Spray comes in an attractive package bearing a woman's torso on one side and usage instructions and a list of ingredients on another. The Spray itself is packaged in a 1 oz. spray bottle with an image similar to the one on the box. I found it pleasing to look at, but it is anything but discreet. Aside from the potential for a leak inherent in any plastic spray bottle, the size of the product makes it perfectly well suited for travel. While the spray bottle is effective at dispensing the liquid within, it is a bit awkward to apply yourself. The instructions could also be more specific about how much to use, and since the product is sprayed on the external surface of the skin, it would be nice to get some instructions on whether or not it should be massaged in or applied internally somehow.
